President Biden's recent clemency grant to Josephine Virginia Gray, known as the “Black Widow” for her alleged involvement in the murders of her husbands and boyfriend, has sparked widespread outrage. Gray was convicted of insurance fraud for profiting from the deaths, but not murder.
President Joe Biden commuted the sentence of Josephine Virginia Gray, known as the “Black Widow” for being implicated in the murders of two of her husbands and her boyfriend, for which she fraudulently collected life insurance payouts. Biden granted clemency to 1499 people last week in what the White House boasted was the largest such grant in one day in American history. He also granted 39 pardons. Some of the cases have generated tremendous outrage.
Gray was sentenced to 40 years in prison in 2002 for insurance fraud schemes connected to the murders of three men between 1974 and 1996. Gray was resentenced to the same amount of time again in 2006 following a series of appeals. Gray collected $165,000 from the three insurance settlements and was charged with murder by Maryland state authorities but ultimately convicted in federal court in 2002 for insurance fraud for violating what’s known as the “slayers rule,” which prohibits killers from receiving inheritance and insurance proceeds from their victims’ death. Witnesses at Gray’s various trials accused her of using intimidation tactics—including threats of voodoo—to coerce them into remaining silent. Lenron Goode, the brother of Gray’s third victim, said, “It was the witchcraft, mostly.” Gray did not face a murder trial in state court after Maryland’s state attorney said her hefty federal sentence “ensures she will die in prison.”,
